Not sure if I want to be a road nazi or not. I want to be strong and fast but I don't want to be all pissed off and loud-mouthed, either.
Last summer I saw a guy yell like this at
children riding their bikes ahead of him on an MUP. The kids were between 8 and 12. What a total jerk. He didn't use profanity, but it was the worst behavior I've ever seen on a bike.
Why do people act like that?
